agree with Bonymaenjack here, don't let this detract from a massive result! Who cares. Kid = twart, Hazard = Twart. Yeah that's right, I said twart. ;-)
Lucky for us the club have moved quickly to try and de-fuse this. No charges being brought and apologies all round, end of story between Swansea and Chelsea. Thankfully the media are loving the fact they get to kick Chelsea around for a few days and as they tend to be disliked by most fans we seem to have once again escaped major critisism. This boy Charlie Morgan now has 63,000 followers on twitter !!

hazard kicked the ball boy for keeping the ball. torres would have missed him, cole would have shot him and terry would have shagged him!
Knackeredjack, youre WELL out of order here. Hazard should be looking at a spell inside for this. End of. what the fk!!!fk off ffs
Dont let the facts get in the way of a good story. If it wasnt for the ballboy smothering the ball and pinning himself to the ground for half the game Chelsea would haveve scored 3 goals. Mind you Hazard sprinting the length of the pitch flying in with both feet and continually beating down on this poor little 5 year old cos he wouldnt give his ball back could maybe be interpreted as a little extreme. In Hazards defence this was probably the only chance he was gonna get a to touch the ball
I'm loving this on the topic from the Guardian Comments section: Made me giggle. I think most level headed people have already moved on.
KnackeredJack I think you're the one over reacting here KJ So far you have called the ball-boy, who ultimately didn't do much anyway, a stupid little twat, a Stupid knob, a spoiled little rich boy, a twat (straight), an arrogant boy who's wings need to be clipped. You then continued to make absurd judgments about the lad based on the fact that his Dad is a successful Swansea businessman, who is an active member of our esteemed board of Directors and who invested ****loads of £££'s into our club way back, when we languished in lower leagues. Personally I think his involvement in Swansea football club and our city should be applauded and not used as a tool to display your inverted prejudice and snobbery. Not very clever.
Oh Puuurllease. Look at the evidence bfore posting such nonsense. This kid was bigging himself up on Twitter before the game by saying "King of the Ball Boys is back. Needed tonight for time wasting". This has infuriated me because (1) It implies (even if this wasn't the case) he was instructed by someone from the Club to time waste by the use of the word 'needed'; (2) This has directly tarnished the image of the Club that many people have worked so hard over the years to improve, from the fans to the Board to the players to the Managers we've had. So yes, I stand by every word, and unusually, many posters seem to be with me on this. I've criticised Hazard too but you make no mention of that. He, being the professional, was the worse villain of the peace. If the lad had done nothing wrong then why did Martin Morgan take him to the Chelsea dressing room where he apologised (as did Hazard)? The fact that Dad is a Director and a major figure at the Club doesn't not give him any entitlement to behave like this. In fact it gives this lad a greater responsibility to behave properly, not be a 'King of the Ball Boys" who sets out to time waste thereby making us look bad. My comments about him being spoiled are my impresssion gleaned from his arrogant comments on Twitter so you're too ready to assume any sort of 'inverted snobbery' which is a phrase you tend to use a lot - and it's far too presumptuous. DragonPhil (who I rarely agree with) seems to know about this lad and isn't in the least surprised. As I've said elsewhere this will blow over pretty quick.
You're just to old to remember what its like to be a teenager Those comments werent arrogant or meant to be posted as hard facts, they are just light hearted comments that you would expect from any teenager whos whole outlook on life is to have fun and enjoy themselves.
I can picture the conversation in the Morgan household pre match: Martin Morgan: "Now listen Charlie my boy I have fixed it so that some of the other ball boys cant make it tonight. I know we are 2 goals up and playing at home and a Premiership team BUT we need you son more than you can ever know. I want you as Head Ball Boy to instruct all the other ball boys to waste time at every opportunity. Whenever that ball goes out of play get there first no matter what then slowly and I mean slowly roll the ball back into play" Chucky: " OK Pops but what if one of those mean cockanee type players with the funny accents gets to the ball first?" MM: " Dont worry son just rip the ball off him, they are all southern pansies so he wont put up much of a fight. If he touches you fall down, you know like Suarez does or Ba or Bale or hell any of those players that play for the BIG premiership teams the way they always do week in week out. You remember son when we used to watch 'em on Match of the Day." Chucky: " Ok Dad will do you can rely on me" MM: " Good cos without you I fear the worse, Oh one more thing son dont tell anyone because we will deny all knowledge of this conversation and if you get caught your on your own" Chucky: " Oops sorry Dad I may have mentioned something on Twitter but its ok I only got 3 friends at the moment so no worries"
